A helicopter crashed into a field in North Yorkshire, killing two persons. The cause of the plane’s crash near Burton in Lonsdale is being investigated; the cause is now unknown. After the helicopter crashed soon before midday near Bentham Road, emergency personnel raced to the area. Two people were killed as a result, North Yorkshire Police said later Monday afternoon. Specially trained cops are assisting their relatives, according to the force.
As emergency services respond to the situation, specialist air accident investigators have been summoned to the collision scene, and road closures have been put in place.

According to the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB), an examination has been initiated into what happened, and inspectors are on their way to the accident scene to begin their investigation.
